An Indian Summer

I`m hearing a lot about people experiencing an Indian Summer at the moment. It`s still summer here but a bearable 30 C, so no complaints.

I could complain about our postman having done a disappearing act with my batting for the Across the Seas quilt. It should be basted by now and I should be doing the quilting so that I can bind it and put it in the flikr group by next Monday. I`m not.

Instead, I dug out my Kumari Garden FQ bundle and started a baby quilt using this tutorial by Fresh Lemons. Here are the first 6 blocks.

Clearly I was thinking girls when I started making this but as time went on I became less and less thrilled with the pink blocks and I`m drawn to the green and blues one. So my question dear readers is, do I make two quilts separating the colourways or keep it looking bright...and pink? I`m not sure a baby would get a good night`s sleep with this mix but a playmat might be fun.

My favourite block is top middle. I could make a whole quilt of blocks of fussy cuts with wide borders.

You know that lovely feeling when you unexpectedly come across something you`ve lost. Well yesterday I was rooting through one of the many unpacked boxes from our summer move and found my ipod in an old makeup bag. I know. Go figure. I hadn`t seen it since Christmas.

So today I was listening to the album 21 by Adele. Got to love the Adele.

There are still a couple of days left to enter the giveaway. I am blown away by the phenomenal response - thanks everyone!

Hmm, I love them together, but I'm a momma of 2 little girls. I like the play of the 2 color stories. And my fav is the bottom middle. I love way the border echoes the center. Your piecing is very thoughtful!!

Sorry about the postie absconding with the batting. I'm running rather behind myself, but I'm chanelling that Little Engine That Could and trying not to remember that I'm out on Friday night, and will be losing a day's sewing (when I should be more worried about losing a couple of friends from work!)
